My experience at Kids Planet has been great, all the staff are caring and friendly. They creat a safe space for children to develop new skills and have fun, there are always different activity tables set up to keep the children entertained.


My little one has a great time at nursery and has developed

so much during his time at Kids Planet. We joined just before my little one turned 1 and he will be graduating from nursery this August. We have been supported at every step along the way, minds put to ease during the initial settling process, to seeing our son thrive in the environment. Would recommend the pudsey branch to friends and family.

Thank you so much for your kind words - sometimes we can't believe either how fast the time goes with the children! Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts on the nursery.

Excellent nursery, even as anxious parents they helped settle our daughter in very quickly whilst providing us reassurance via the app that she was ok. The staff are all very friendly and our little one constantly asks for them even at home.

The nursery is a lovely place. The staff are so friendly. The manager is particularly helpful with certain aspects of sorting out childcare funding and providing a helpful guide for parents. The setting is absolutely fit for purpose for babies, right up to preschool. I especially like the facial recognition
device to gain access to the building as this feels really secure and instils confidence that your child is safe. There is also a useful app for parents to review what their child has been doing on a daily basis and also is a place where you can leave comments. You can also find really helpful observations which key workers will carry out on your child and give you an idea of stages of development and can identify areas where your child may need extra support. My daughter loves going to nursery and has really helped her development. They send out emails regarding upcoming events which could be useful.
Overall, we are happy with the nursery and would recommend to others.

Kids Planet Pudsey Nursery has been awarded Good and it really lives up to this well-deserved title. My son has been at this nursery for just 7/8 months and we as parents are so happy with the quality of care he receives every day! Staff are amazing, friendly, nurturing, thoughtful and on top of everything.
Always a big warm smile each morning and afternoon from the staff. My son is very happy at nursery and has learned and progressed tremendously. We're happy with how far he has come, I couldn't ask for more. He loves getting messy and secretly learns along the way! Nothing is too much to ask from this nursery. They go above and beyond. I feel confident in leaving him at nursery knowing he will be well looked after. Ladies are so good with him! Although he's excited to come home he'd happily keep playing. I would highly recommend Kids Planet Pudsey Nursery will give your child a good foundation to progress successfully onto their next adventure!

My little girl recently started at the nursery and loves it (going to work as she calls it). All the staff are so welcoming, accommodating and make it feel like visiting family. From the first visit we knew my child's key worker and they built a good relationship with my daughter but also our entire
family. I love the frequent updates about my daughter, the stay-and-play sessions, the vibe of the nursery, the staff and pretty much everything else. Recommended to friends as I think they are fabulous!

All the staff at Kids Planet Pudsey are amazing!
My child loves all the girls in the rooms. My child enjoys the activities, especially all the messy, wet ones! The girls always take the children outside when they can and again my child loves to explore all the activities and toys outside
We couldn’t
have picked a better nursery! Thank you Kids Planet Pudsey!

A lovely, welcoming nursery, which I always feel happy leaving my child at knowing he will be well looked after and fed a variety of freshly home-cooked food. The staff members are amazing; they go above and beyond to help the children play and learn. Would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone.

My son has been with Kids Planet for over three years, and he absolutely loves it. The staff are great, so many activities are conducted, and they take little ones out for a walk, which is great. Also, they have gone out of their way to conduct activities during holidays and celebrate festivities, which
is wonderful. Overall, great nursery. Definitely recommend it for any parents who want to build their child's confidence in a fun learning environment.

The whole staff at Kids Planet Pudsey take real pride in their jobs and duties to care for the children. They all go out of their way to make sure the utmost due diligence is taken when performing tasks and communicating with parents. The learning skills our child has learnt have blown us away and this
is clear to see what they’ve learnt from the staff at the nursery. Receiving regular updates throughout the day puts you at ease and always makes you smile from the content they provide.

Kids Planet Pudsey cares about your child. Both my children have been in nursery since they were 9 months and we have never had any issues. They are always so happy to be with their key workers and friends when dropped off. They have both learnt a lot and developed quickly since being at nursery and
that is down to the amazing staff and the facilities here. Thank you all for looking after my children.

The nursery staff have done a great job taking care of my preschool child. She is enthusiastic in nursery and talks about her day. They organise engaging activities which rotate daily.
My baby has also started, she is still settling into the nursery.

I currently have my second child attending Kids Planet Pudsey.
We've been here from when it was a Kinder Haven and I have to say, if not for the likes of the manager, who is always going above and beyond, then we would have really felt the changeover.
The nursery has become more inclusive which is
a huge help for busy parents juggling work, mum life and everything in between.
All staff are so lovely and even now, with my eldest in school nursery, all of her old key workers and room staff ask about her and make a right fuss over her when she comes to pick-up.
The current team in babies are excellent in reassuring my little one during drop-offs and are so invested in her milestones, it makes me feel confident that she is getting just as much love and care at nursery as she does at home.
There is no one team member who stands out as the standards from all are so high that they are all just great.

My daughter attends Kids Planet and loves it, has key workers she looks forward to seeing - friends she's made and we get regular updates on how she's doing including what she's eating, how she's sleeping and what activities she's got up to. Sometimes they go out on visits and it's nice to know she's
getting those extra experiences. No complaints at all.

Kids Planet is a fabulous day nursery. My child enjoys their time and loves the room staff, especially their key worker. My child has learnt so much and has developed such amazing social skills. Kids Planet Pudsey also offers us the opportunity to do extracurricular activities with my child by providing
home learning packs. Thank you for all you do. What a fabulous team.

This nursery is wonderful. The staff in my child’s room really care about my child; they shape and focus learning around the interests of the children in the room, they take safeguarding very seriously, and they have so many lovely extras - things like creative seasonal learning packs to take home,
fresh fruit and veg to pick up on their way out, little trips and involvement in the local community. So impressed with the new management.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Kids Planet Pudsey is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.880 for Kids Planet Pudsey is calculated as follows: ( (422 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 468 Ratings = 4.88
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kids Planet Pudsey is based on 39 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 74 number of registered child places is 14.8, which has been reached with 39 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
